Victor Epkuk is an amazing Nigeria born artist based in Washington DC. His paintings and drawings incorporate Nsibidi—a Nigerian system of symbols used to communicate. I was introduced to Mr. Epkuk’s work when we were both represented by Parish Gallery. What I enjoy most about his work is its tribal simplicity and how his ideas are shared with only a few minimal elements. The work is beautiful and fun to look it too ! If you’re in DC you won’t want to miss the exhibition at Morton Fine Art (see above). You can see his web site . Or see what he's up to on his Facebook page. Information about his upcoming show is abouve ENJOY!

HAIR SERIES : in Progress
It’s an amazing time to be a black woman with natural hair. I recently rediscovered these unfinished paintings and decided to complete them. These small 8.75 × 8.75 pieces are a celebration of black hair. My first perm was in my senior year in high school before I left for college. My last perm was 4 years later, during my last year in college. I’ve been a natural sister for 27 years and still loving it. Praise God!! more ladies are beginning to recognize the hair God has given us is AWESOME ! The images show the paintings progressing.
